Notes from the Studio

After several very long weeks at the studio I’ve completed 28 b/w drawings for the “Coyote Road” anthology that will be released in June from Viking. This is the third in a series of short story collections that feature mythic themes, each of which are edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling. The first two, ‘The Green Man’ and ‘The Faery Reel’ won numerous awards both as a collection and as individual stories and I expect that this one will too. Several months ago I posted the cover art for this book, so now here are a few of the interior illustrations. First, the title page art: Then several of the interior pieces: From ‘God Clown’ by Carol Emshwiller From ‘The Dreaming Wind’ by Jeffrey Ford. From ‘The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs of North Park After the Change’ by Kij Johnson. From ‘The Senorita and the Cactus Thorn’ by Kim Antieau. From ‘The Constable of Abal’ by Kelly Link. From ‘The Other Labrynth’ by Jedediah Berry. The stories are set in varied cultures and time periods and so quite a bit of reference and research had to be applied to each image. The authors, Charles de Lint,
